Caution, severe immaturity warning! If you’re more mature than the average teen age male, don’t bother following this link. Fortunately that doesn’t apply to most of my regulars.

The Disintegrator – A 24-Barrel Rubber Band Minigun.

Why might you ask, would anyone want a 24-Barrel Rubber Band Minigun? Why not?

Plane meet Tree. Tree meet Plane

Amazing video. Lucky pilot. I realize they’re not actually supposed to fly quite that low, but it’s an amazing piece of flying anyway. Listen to the music in the earlier parts of the flight.

This is posted on military.com as a real video, and it looks like it to me, but you might notice the word simulated blink occasionally. Does anyone know what that is? Is it one of the warning systems, or has the video been edited in some way?

Devil’s Pool

Just for the record, while I like swimming, and waterfalls, I don’t seeing combining the two as a good idea. I will not be jumping into the Devil’s Swimming Pool at Victoria Falls. That’s just nuts.

Jessica Claire – Photogapher

Filed under: Blog Design,Design Review,Photography,Web Design — HDW @ 9:04 am

Jessica Claire has a new site design. I always love to see a blog merged seamlessly with the rest of a site. Honestly, I just love to see a complete site working seamlessly together, but it’s often the blog that gets left out of the design loop. They’re an afterthought, left on some default theme. Or worse, linking to an entirely different site on Blogger. Nothing wrong with Blogger, but if you’re going to the trouble of writing and maintaining a blog, shouldn’t the improved stats benefit your own URL? There are ways to use Blogger and WordPress.com and still use your own URL.

Back to Jessica Claire’s new site. Seamless is the key word. Red Door and infinet design did a beautiful job putting all the pieces together. I’m a sucker for classic design elements like they’re using in the background and elsewhere. The colors work well for me too.Nicely done. Good luck with it Ms. Claire.
